Emma's POV

I couldn't believe it. Liam fudging Payne was sitting a few tables away from me. This is why i love Mexican restaurant. First is see R.Pats now Liam Payne. Sara glanced at me across the table, she knew something was up with the large smile that was spread across my face. "What are you grinning about?" she chuckled, a the corner of her mouth pulled up into a smirk. "Don't turn around, but Liam is totally sitting behind you," I laughed as the smirk fell from her face and her brows furrowed. She glanced over her shoulder and then back at me. "Well, that's insane," Sara brushed the hair from her face. "You turned around!" I frowned at her, and she laughed at me. "Oh, food," and the conversation was over.

It wasn't until we were almost finished that Sara got fed up with my loving looks in his direction. Liam happened to be passing us by when, Sara discreetly stuck out her foot. Liam tumbled to the floor, and Sara feigned a look of surprise. "Omg! I am so sorry!" she stood and reached out a hand to help him up up. I stared in shock at the scene in front of me. What did she have in mind? Oh goodness, they're talking!

Liam's POV

I smiled down at the girl in front of me before looking at her friend, who seemed to be in shock.  The girl was beautiful with dark brown hair that fall like silk around her face. Her golden flecks swam in her big brown eyes that stared at me, and her skin was pale and unblemished. She looked like an angel."Emma's got a bit of crush on you," the girl in front of him said. "Does she now?" I lifted an eye brow at her. "Duh, I just said that. I'm going to sit over there, and you're going to talk to her," the tall girl pushed him down into the chair and walked away. "Your friend she's a bit..." I tried to think of an adjective for her. "Yeah, Sara's a bit odd," Emma looked down. "So, she said you fancy me a bit," I chuckled not being able to think of anything else to say. Emma flushed, "She did? I'm going to kill her!" her eyes went impossibly wider and she glanced over at her friend in anger. "It's cool, I don't mind." We talked for about twenty minutes or so before I looked down at my watch. "Shoot I've got to go, but this is my number. You should text me," I quickly jotted down the number on a napkin and rush out.

I got a text later that night from an unknown number. My hopeful mind prayed that it was Emma, but it was likely it was a wrong number. Yeah, probably a wrong number. Don't get your hopes up, Liam. Oh great, I'm talking to myself now. I should just open the text.

'Hey, it's Emma from earlier today.'

It's her! Is that what our fans feel like when they see us. I need to think of something witty to say!

'Hey! I was wondering when you would text me.'

Real smooth, Liam. She probably thinks you're some sort of freak now.

'LOL sorry! I've been pretty busy today'

'Ha, it's alright!'

Wow, now you've made her feel bad. Idiot! She's taking a while to respond, have I upset her that bad? What am I going to do? Think, think!

'So, Mr. Pop star, how was your concert earlier?'

I let out a breath of relief, she had responded. Emma wasn't angry with me. 

Emma's POV

I woke up with my phone cradled to me. I had fallen asleep texting Liam. Well, not texting him, we had already said good night. I'm still stunned he had actually responded, I mean he's a world famous Pop star! He asked me to meet up with him today. He actually wants to be around me! Have I died and gone to heaven? I swear, after I murder Sara, I am going to thank her!

I dug through my closet trying to find something to wear. Maybe a dress? It's to hot for jeans, and all my shorts are dirty. I hate the way I look in skirts, so dress it is. Now which one? Maybe my brown one with the jewels across the neckline? No. Not this one, it makes my butt look huge. What about my light pink one that has and empire waist and falls just bellow my knees? Yes! Okay, brown or black flats? Um... brown? Yeah, I think brown will do!

Oh, goodness! What if he doesn't show? What if he stands me up? No, he wouldn't do that. Calm down, everything will be alright. Look there he is. I told you he wouldn't stand you up! Am I talking to myself? Yeah, I am. Should I stand when he gets to the table? Um.. yes that seems like the best idea. Will he want to hug, or should I shake his hand? 

"Emma! It's lovely to see you again," Liam lent over and hugged me. So, hug it is. "Hey," I grin as I sit back down. "Sorry I'm late, the traffic was dreadful,"  The waitress comes by with my drink and Liam order his. ""So, is this like a date or did you just want to see my pretty face?" I leaned forward on my elbows and smirked at him. "Oh, this is defiantly a date."

Sara's POV

Emma and Liam went on multiple dates after that., some good and some bad. Some all together perfect. They were together happily for about three year's when Liam popped the question. They got married about three months after that. They now have three children; Aaron, Neville, and Melissa. And I'm proud to say that I set them up.
